Nissen Creek Bridge - Mt Lewis Road
The load limit at Nissen Creek Bridge was reduced to five (5) tonne earlier this year as a result of a level three bridge inspection.
Timber Restoration Systems from Caboolture were engaged to design and assist construction of a retro-fit solution to return the bridge to T44 condition using a combination of salvaged materials from previous bridge works and a glulam kerb and deck system.
Works commenced 16 May and were completed 22 May. The bridge was closed to all traffic between 7:00am and 6:00pm on Friday, 19 May for the installation of the replacement deck and kerb system.

Sabin Road West Intersection Widen and Seal
Works at Sabin Road West commenced mid-April but the presence of ground water forced the project to be delayed until mid-May.
The project recommenced on 15 May and involved the widening and upgrading of the existing Malone Road and Sabin Road West intersection, the widening of Malone Road, the installation of concrete kerbing, driveway upgrades and a two-coat bitumen seal.
The existing subgrade was found to be unsuitable and was excavated to a depth of 500mm and replaced with rock and bidim prior to placing the base gravel.
It is anticipated that the project will be sealed early June weather permitting.
5
Gilmore Road Widening and Seal
The Gilmore Road widening and seal project commenced late May. The extent of works include the widening of 1,400m of narrow road, the upgrading of existing accesses and a two coat bitumen seal.
These works are programmed to be sealed in late June.
2016/17 Capital Works
Kowa Street Pavement Widening
Works commenced mid-April on the widening of 463m of Kowa Street, Mareeba commencing at the intersection of Basalt and Kowa Streets. The project scope included pavement widening and sealing, driveway works, culvert headwall construction and barrier kerb installation.
The project was sealed in early May and will be line marked in June.

A total of 713m2 were replaced in eight sections at an average cost of $104m2.
Algoma Road Culvert Renewal
Works commenced on 24 May at the Algoma Road culvert renewal site. The existing culvert was originally constructed using steel pipes and these had become rusted and the culvert was in a severe state of disrepair.
7
Four 750mm Ø black max pipes were inserted inside the existing steel pipes and the
edges were sealed. Holes were bored through the top of the existing concrete deck and a sand / cement mix (grout) will be poured around the new pipes.

Yellow Crazy Ants: The Senior Land Protection Officer represented Council at the recent
Yellow Crazy Ant Reference Group Meeting. Council staff assists the Yellow Crazy Ant
work group in laying lures as well as the toxic baits and slash access tracks for the electric
ant crew.
Siam Weed: All siam sites have been revisited and retreated as necessary. Property
inspections around Springmount have located a new incursion adjacent to an Ergon
Energy owned property. Council's Senior Land Protection Officer met with the local Ergon
manager and requested that vehicles coming into Mareeba Shire are thoroughly cleaned
down as it is highly probable that this incursion has come off an Ergon vehicle. The site
has been thoroughly searched, the infestation mapped onto Council's GIS and all plants
chemically treated.
Rotary Field Day: Land Protection staff ran a pest and weeds stall at the Rotary Field
Day for three (3) days. Officers received numerous reports of suspected sightings of
declared pests and handed out information about Natural Resource Management.
The Barron River Catchment's Invasive Aquatic Plant Problem: Mareeba Shire
Council currently have three (3) volunteers from the Muluridgi Aboriginal Tribal
Corporation. These workers are being supervised by one of the Land Protection Officers
and the workers are engaged in searching for the five (5) main weeds in the riparian area.
Officers are capturing data on the source of the incursions and hand removing as much of
the weed as possible. The benefits to the volunteers are learning to use GPS units to
create weed maps, learning about the many different techniques to be employed in weed
removal, gaining experience in weed identification and the necessity of thorough clean
down of vehicle, tools and the persons boots and clothing.
Multi-species control work on Upper Walsh River Catchment: Officers have carried
out a follow up treatment in conjunction with the Mitchell River Group and effected
landowners. The main target species are Rubber Vine, Bellyache Bush, Physic Nut and
Siam Weed. The control work is from the Emu Creek, Irvinebank to the Walsh River
confluence.
Feral Pigs: Land Protection staff have carried out coordinated baiting over the MSF
Sugar cane lands covering approximately 3,000 hectares of the Arriga area and disposed
of several hundred pigs over that range. This work is now being followed up by a pig
shooting program conducted by the landowners. Several permanent silo traps have been
constructed in the area.
Coordinated wild dog baiting programs: A number of large scale cattle properties have
been baited on the Lynd and Tate River catchments as well as some smaller properties
closer to town.

milestone payments of $1.6 million from the State Government and $1 million from the Federal Government to date. Further payments will be due in September 2017 following lodgement of milestone reports. Programme
A programme of works has been prepared which reflects the works and commitment made by Council in the funding agreements. The project is on schedule to meet final completion ahead of the target completion date of August 2018 as set in the funding agreement. Construction of the Airside Infrastructure is scheduled to commence in July 2017 following negotiation and award of tender TMSC2017-04. Airport Water Supply Upgrade
Tender TMSC2016-07 for upgrade of the water supply services was awarded to FGF Developments Pty Ltd in July 2016 and work commenced from mid-August 2016. Certification of the fire-fighting system to meet Queensland Fire and Rescue Services (QFRS) requirements has been completed and the project achieved Practical Completion on 4 May 2017. Aviation Commercial Precinct - Early Works
Bonadio Farming has been engaged under QMSC2016-17 for early works on the Aviation Commercial Precinct, which includes completion of ground clearing, removal of underground cobbles and boulders and reinstatement of the site. The contractor has commenced removal of rocks from the northern section of the Aviation Commercial Precinct, with approximately 15,000 cubic metres of rock removed and stockpiled to date. Final works to remove rock from new road corridors is underway, with the work scheduled for completion by end of June 2017. Significantly more rock has been encountered than anticipated. This work has been necessary to mitigate risk associated with unfavourable ground conditions for construction of the new aviation commercial precinct.
Airside Infrastructure
Jacobs Engineering Group has been engaged to undertake the detailed design and documentation for the runway, taxiways, airfield lighting and aviation commercial precinct (Western Lease Area).
Four (4) firms were invited to tender on this work after being shortlisted through invitations for Expressions of Interest. Tenders closed on 9 May 2017 and conforming and non-conforming tenders were received from all four (4) tenderers. Evaluation of tenders has been completed and Council officers are obtaining clarification and further pricing information from tenderers.
This process has taken longer than anticipated due to tender prices being higher than the available budget; however, it is anticipated that tender TMSC2017-04 will be awarded by early July 2017.
Stakeholder Engagement
A Communication and Stakeholder Engagement Plan has been developed, which sets out the engagement strategy for delivery phase of the project. Current airport users have been surveyed and an e-newsletter was distributed in late-April 2017. Further engagement work in relation to distribution of project information and engagement with local businesses regarding work opportunities on the project is underway.
Aviation Commercial Precinct Leasing Opportunities
To date, four (4) applications have been received for leasing of sites within the new aviation commercial precinct. Council has received many enquiries regarding leasing of
17
land, with further lease applications expected to be received when construction of the airside infrastructure commences.
